Indonesia has a tropical climate. Tropical areas have rains almost the whole year through. For the reason of extreme weather, the home design should be able to accommodate the climate. The House Located in Griya Loka, Serpong in a suburb area near Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia). These townships residential area is dense enough. The home design-oriented is focusing on natural resources for lighting and aeration.

‘Breathing House’ is located in an area which has been formed since the 80s. This site blended with the surrounding environment as a green area. We optimize the potential asymmetrical shaped into the owner's identity with a functional approach. The owner is a dynamic young family with two childrens. Both are eager to have a more comfortable dwelling, environmentally friendly and at the same time also represent personal identity. "Form follow function" became a common thread in keeping the desired characteristics.

Site follows the asymmetric land, which is form a new grid, creates unexpected spatial experience. Element of surprise is inserted into the flow of circulation between spaces. The ground floor as the public areas is designed to 'breath' naturally through the large ventilation that is provided from the holes pattern in some areas of the building. All space is centered at large void holes which has skylights on it. Under the skylight there is indoor swimming pool which also aims to lower the room temperature naturally.

The private bedroom area, work space and living space are on the second floor. On the third floor, we designed a roof garden that serves as an additional open area resident to do outdoor activities and family events.

We used naturaland green materials such as bricks, Gain Reinforced Cement (GRC), and recycle metal are explored in order to have a contemporary new design. This house also works independently with recycle rainwater to watering garden and car washing. The house is expected to represent the identity of an eco-friendly Indonesian modern family home.
